Commercial De-Icing in Spokane, WA
Ice is the hidden hazard of an Inland Northwest winter. Spokane's freeze-thaw pattern (sun and above-freezing temperatures during the day, hard freezes overnight) turns snowmelt into black ice on lots, drive lanes, entrances, and walkways. Most winter slip-and-fall injuries and parking-lot accidents happen on ice, not snow. PNW Snow Services provides commercial de-icing and anti-icing that gets ahead of that cycle instead of chasing it.
Our approach starts with pavement temperature. Ground temperature, not air temperature, determines whether a surface will freeze and which product will work. Crews read and record ground temperature at every visit and select the de-icer accordingly (granular or liquid, standard or cold-weather formulations) and apply it where it matters most: entrances, ADA routes, stairs, drive-thru lanes, and the drive lanes and stalls that see the most traffic. Before a storm or freeze, anti-icing pre-treatment keeps snow and ice from bonding to the pavement in the first place, which makes the plow pass cleaner and the surface safer.

More About Our De-Icing Work
The most dangerous days of a Spokane winter are often the sunny ones. Snowbanks melt across walkways in the afternoon, the water refreezes as the sun drops, and by the time residents or employees arrive the next morning the surface is glazed. Our monitoring is built to catch those days (crews are dispatched for ice control based on forecast and pavement temperature, not just on snowfall) so your property is treated before the refreeze rather than after a fall.
PNW Snow Services provides commercial de-icing and anti-icing across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Cheney, Mead, Airway Heights, and North Idaho. Contact us to build ice control into a seasonal program for your property.

“We had our landscaping and irrigation done by Michael and Chad at PNW Lawn Care last summer, and the experience has been excellent from start to finish. They've been incredibly helpful with sprinkler blowouts and helping us get the irrigation system up and running this spring. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping or irrigation work!”

“Michael and Chad went above and beyond getting my landscaping ready for my daughter's grad party. After finishing my project, my sprinkler system had issues and they took care of it for me within days and saved my yard while we were off for her graduation vacation. Can't say enough thanks to them!”
